The downhill mtb race started at the top of DH under the Elevation chairlift and dropped nearly 2,000 vertical feet, hitting Holy Rollers and Arm Pump on the way to the finish line. There was a little bit of everything on this course from brake-burning steeps on upper DH to fast berms and rollers on Holy Rollers, tight and technical singletrack on Arm Pump and a high speed finish straight to the base.
